According to Concordia College, the total number of on-campus sexual offenses (rape, sodomy, sexual assault with an object and fondling) for the reporting year of 2015 was three — one instance of rape and two instances of fondling. According to a study done by the Association of American Universities, 23.1 percent of undergraduate females and…
Okay, everyone, I’m finally going to write about the one faction of Concordia that really grinds my gears. I’ve been too afraid to write about them for a while now – some of them are even my friends! Maybe I just don’t understand them entirely! It’s not like they get that much special treatment! Maybe…
As Cobbers we will spew our political efficacy left and right during national elections, but what we fail to realize is that our civic duty doesn’t stop at the ballot box. Concordia’s Student Government Association holds annual elections for the student body to vote in, and the Faculty Senate holds regular meetings that students are…
Becoming Responsibly Engaged in the World. We hear or read these words at least a few times every week while here at Concordia College. But is saying them really doing anything? Are Cobbers responsibly engaged citizens of the world — or even of our own country? We are involved in countless activities both on and…
Last week, while walking to my car to make a Pancheros run, I opted to walk on the edge of the sidewalk to avoid the massive puddle in the middle. The sidewalk was pretty icy, and as someone who stubbornly refuses to lay her Birkenstocks to rest in the winter, I ate it. I slammed…
“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” Martin Luther King Jr. wrote those words for the student newspaper at Morehouse College in 1947. “DON’T LET SCHOOL GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR EDUCATION” are the words my 11th grade AP Government teacher, Steven…
Concordia’s marketing team, admissions representatives and I all have something in common: we are well-versed in the art of deception. Concordia College is, well, a college. And in order to be successful, a college needs to have students. In order to have students, a college needs to appear appealing. What appealing factor do we market…
I am a member of the rather large sector of the Concordia College community that believes Symposium, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Celebration of Student Scholarship are the best days of the academic year. While this may sound noble and intellectual —“Wow, look at Emma appreciating people’s hard work and effort”— it is quite…
For over a week now, we’ve known that the President-elect is none other than Donald J. Trump, and suddenly all of my previous articles seem so horribly petty. Some of you are furious, dejected and heartbroken, while others are euphoric. If you hadn’t yet gathered, I am very much a part of the former group….
Over one-third of Cobbers are involved in a music ensemble on campus. That means that over one- third of Cobbers aren’t getting the experience they deserve at Concor-dia College. If you’ve ever seen the illustrious Memorial Auditorium, you probably know that it is nothing short of an acoustic masterpiece made by the angels above. Just…
